“As and introvert I was afraid at first how do I survive a tour with a group of 50, but it was very nicely organized. The group divided into smaller groups by language and on every sight we had some time with the guide and some time to wander around on our own. Our guide Marina communicated very well and gave us clear instructions, in order to have this big group to be on the schedule and getting the best of this trip. The sights were amazing and I got to know Armenia a lot better thanks to our guide.”

“This review comes straight from heart. When I booked this tour I had no idea that I am going to meet this amazing person Mr Ruben. He took care of us like a family. He was proud of the Armenian culture and gave us flavour of it in the short span we spent together. Not only he took us to places told us about the history and cultural importance but he was always around us like we were his family.

“The trip packs in a lot and is good value for doing a lot of things if you have limited time in Armenia or want to do a full day day trip from Yerevan . However, our trip included both Russian speaking and English speaking tourists , which means we had to wait for everything to be translated in both languages. Also, the choice of the ( extra ) paid lunch stop was totally useless. The worst food possible, would have been better to stop at a food court and order a quick à la carte lunch . The guide Tigran and driver were good .”
